A pastel painting from my plein air study "Lily Pond". I am planning a few more compositions from the time I spent at this beautiful place a few weeks ago. This painting will be at the Button-Petter Gallery exhibit opening July 11.

About Kathleen

I am an artist because I have always had an innate desire to share with others what I see as beautiful. When painting, I feel a personal connection to nature with all the sensations of light, atmosphere, mood, and color. Color is my passion. Many years of plein air painting has helped be to interpret color, and practicing outdoors is the key to creating successful landscapes. My goal is to quickly capture the light and retain my initial concept. The plein air work influences my studio work by reminding me of my inspiration. My hope is that the viewer will be inspired with another understanding of how beautiful our world can be and left with a feeling of pleasure. My paintings celebrate life.
